Terrence J leaves E! News
“E! News” co-anchor Terrence Jenkins has announced his departure from the entertainment news program on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old also known for hosting BET’s popular music video countdown show “106 & Park” from 2006 until 2012 said that Wednesday will be his final show on E!, saying he’s leaving to focus instead on acting and producing.
“Seventeen years, that’s a long time,” Jenkins said of his career as a host.
“And I think in order for someone to grow it’s important that you try new things and you create new challenges, create new dreams for yourself.”
The departure comes after this summer’s on-air talent shuffle that saw longtime host Giuliana Rancic replaced by Maria Menounos.
“I love you guys to the bottom of my heart,” Jenkins said to colleagues Menounos, Catt Sadler and Jason Kennedy. “I love this crew, I love working with you guys; but it’s important I grow and I wanted to leave on my own terms and when I was ready.”
“Always bet on yourself, never get too comfortable, and follow your dreams no matter what!” Jenkins tweeted after the news was announced.
The host also thanked his fans for their support.
